Preparing for Christmas at Christmas Cards All Year Round

Afternoon to you! Hope its a good one! This is my third and final post for the day - over at Christmas cards All year Round christmascardsallyearround there's a new challenge starting called Preparing for Christmas. I decided to make a card based on cooking preparations:

This card is made using two stamps from LOTV - the cake decorating and the recipe stamp. The image was coloured with promarkers. I then used a spellbinders die to cut out the image and added a charm too. The sentiment is from Britannia dies. The flowers are WOC and papers from stash!

I love this card Rachel, reminds me of my Mum, every Christmas she used to make 7 Christmas cakes and decorate them. Now she has bad atheritis in her spine, so can't stand for long. I must say most inconvenient, shop ones are just not the same.

Great Card Rachel. Such a fabulous way to showcase a recipe. The image and design are AMAZING! That charm is perfect for the Craft Your Passion "Use A Charm" Challenge. Thanks for joining us this week!

Love the design of this card - the image, the colours, the layout - love it! Those are great stamps - the recipe is wonderful for a Xmas card! And I see you sweet little charm - perfect for our Add Metal challenge at Glitter n Sparkle. I am so glad you played along with us this week and I hope to see more of your makes in the future. Best of luck in the draw.

Hello Rachel, i was blog hopping and looking for great and fabulous Christmas card idea til I saw this one and can't helped but to say "it's so beautiful!" love the image as well as the ornaments you used. So great. Expressing my warmest Christmas wishes to you and may you have a happy holiday!
